The Chilean team failed to reap three vital points and let the victory over Colombia escape, equaling 2-2 at the National Stadium, for the second date of the Qualifiers towards the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
The team led by Reinaldo Rueda only reaped one of six points on this first double date, making it difficult at the start of the World Cup process, where direct rivals such as Ecuador and Paraguay did achieve triumphs.
Chile had a great reaction in the first half
At the start of the game It seemed that La Roja entered with everything, with the accumulated anger of the fall with Uruguay. Alexis had a chance immediately and the illusion grew that that would be the tone of commitment. HoweverThis momentum also meant deconcentration.
Stefan Medina anticipated Sebastián Vegas in a play, left him behind in speed and raised the center to Jefferson Lerma, who without any marking nodded comfortably to land the blow. It was 0-1 before 10 minutes.

Chile tried to react, with the dribbling of Alexis Sánchez and the physical deployment of Arturo Vidal, and managed to besiege the Colombians. And in a disputed play, the chance of a tie came.
In a cross into the area, Vidal tried to finish off with a contortion and was kicked in the heel, unintentionally, by Davinson Sánchez. Argentine referee Darío Herrera reviewed the VAR and awarded the penalty. “King” himself took the ball and with a cannon shot he achieved the tie (37 ‘).

La Roja grew up with equality, besieged and got the advantage with an elaborate play. Pinares leaked a pass to Isla, “Huaso” raised the center, and after a bad shot from Vidal, Alexis held on to it before the goalkeeper left and scored the 2-1 before the break (41 ‘).

Rueda’s approach was too conservative
Morally, Chile was better at the second half after the comeback, but the approach of the technician Rueda was preservedr. He did not take advantage of the good moment to look for a better result. He kept Pinares and Vargas on the court, underperforming, and when he took them out, the changes made were defensive in nature, sending to José Pedro Fuenzalida and Nicolás Díaz.
For its part, Colombia advanced its lines and began to search with centers to the area and distant shots, making Brayan Cortés, at times, one of the figures.
The outsider’s offensive bet increased and was rewarded. Carlos Queiroz took Wilmar Barrios at the wheel and put veteran Radamel Falcao, who in the discounts, well positioned like any center forward, took advantage of a rebound and delivered the lunge for the 2-2 in the downs.

The result, painful for Chile, also had an air of justice for the visitors, as during the second half a goal was undoubtedly annulled, without even a VAR review.
For the record, arbitration still left another annoyance for our selection, as James Rodríguez ironed Alexis and only had a yellow card. That play was not reviewed either.
